"Yes." The emergency doctor was stunned. Waving his hand, he signaled for the nurses to send Zhang Lisheng and the other three into the ambulance before whispering to the middle-aged officer solemnly, "Mr. Major, you should know that his current mental state is not optimistic just by looking at how the child is hugging that weird statue tightly without letting go.
If you ask such a question in front of him, what if it causes the patient to … "
"I'm sorry, doctor. I'll go back to the ship now." After getting the answer he wanted, the middle-aged officer smiled apologetically and turned to walk away in a hurry.
At this time, the ambulance carrying Zhang Lisheng had already driven out of New York Harbor along the one-way street. Not long after, it sent the young man to the Presbyterian Hospital.
As one of the best general hospitals in New York, the emergency room of the Presbyterian Hospital was already overcrowded at this time. After a few simple medical examinations, the doctors who were so busy that they were exhausted helped Zhang Lisheng make the final medical diagnosis. Other than the fact that he had nerve damage and mental anxiety, he was completely healthy.
Then, the young man who was hooked up to a nutrient injection was pushed into the observation ward by the nurse. An hour later, he saw Lili and Lavin who had rushed to the hospital after hearing the news.
Even though many things had happened on the Elizabeth Holiday, Zhang Lisheng had actually been missing for less than 40 hours. However, Lili's eyes were already swollen like nectarines from crying.
However, when his mother saw that her son was safe and sound, she became very strong. She did not even shed a single tear as she comforted Zhang Lisheng who was lying on the hospital bed. "The doctor said that you're alright. You can go home after staying in the hospital for observation for a day.
Don't think too much, baby. Your most important task now is to have a good rest. I'll always be by your side. Rest assured and sleep. "
By right, his mother's attitude should be what Zhang Lisheng, who had a lot of doubts, wanted. However, due to the reason that it was too abnormal, the young man could not help but ask tentatively instead, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you ask me what happened to me at sea yesterday?"
"I don't want to know anything, baby. What's important is that you're safe. Don't think too much. The most important thing for you now is to relax."
"Yes, Lisheng. Your mom will ask for a leave for you during this period of time so that you can have a good rest," Lavin chimed in by the side.
Zhang Lisheng frowned while lying on the hospital bed. He no longer asked anything and slowly fell asleep.
Everything was fine. After staying in the hospital for 24 hours, he went to see the doctor again.
After flipping Zhang Lisheng's eyelids and observing the reaction of his pupils, the doctor, who looked to be in his sixties with wrinkles all over his face, patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Congratulations, young man. Looks like you're completely fine now.
However, he still needed to take the medicine for two more weeks. During this period, it was best not to think too much and live a relaxed life.
I'll give you a prescription first, and then I'll give you a two-week sick leave. Consider it an early summer vacation. Hearing this news, are you so excited that you want to thank me? "
"But after this early 'summer vacation', I'll have to take the last big exam of my tenth grade soon. Doctor, this won't be exciting."
"You're right to say that. I sympathize with your child, but for the next two weeks, you can't go to school. I'll tell your parents about this. Is anyone coming to pick you up?"
"My mother is just outside the door."
"Okay, go out and wait for the child, and call your mother in."
"Doctor, can you tell me what's wrong with me?"
"You're very healthy. It's just that you've overinhaled a hallucinogenic gas during the shipwreck, causing brain poisoning. But don't worry, it's not very serious. As long as you do as I say, I promise there won't be any sequelae in the future."
"Thank you, doctor." Zhang Lisheng stood up from the chair thoughtfully and walked out of the doctor's office.
Lili welcomed her son immediately when she saw him coming out. "Are you alright, baby?"
"I'm fine, mom. The doctor said I can be discharged immediately. However, I can't go to school for the next two weeks, and I need to continue taking the medicine.
Oh yeah, he asked you to go see him. "
Lili was shocked. "Then sit on the chair and wait for me, baby." She opened the door quickly and ran into the doctor's office.
A few minutes later, Lili came out of the office. She looked much more relaxed now. After bringing Zhang Lisheng to get the medicine, they went to the supermarket to buy a lot of fresh ingredients before driving home.
Other than the male host who went to work overtime, everyone was there. They gave Zhang Lisheng a warm hug and greeted him when they saw him. "Hi, Lisheng, welcome home. Your enviable birthday party this time doesn't seem to be going well."
"Randy, can you shut up? Don't bring that up in the past.
Lisheng, you look good and energetic. Oh yeah, I've fed your beetles on time these past two days. They're doing well too. You can go take a look later. "
"Welcome home, my dear brother …"
When the children were comforting their brothers who had encountered a terrible shipwreck in the living room, Lili was preparing lunch in the kitchen. The fat ribs that were being soaked in the hot oil made a sizzling sound. Over ten minutes later, she had cooked four steaks and made two vegetable salads with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and apples.
"Kids, stop chatting and come eat."
Zhang Lisheng and his siblings rushed into the dining room. Lili placed the lunch plates in front of each of the children. Everyone else had steaks but Zhang Lisheng had a vegetable salad.
"Baby, the doctor told you to eat more vegetarian food for the time being. From today onwards, mom will eat vegetable salad with you for the next two weeks."
"Aunt Lili, I want to eat vegetable salad too."
"Rili my dear, you're already skinny. Let's talk about vegetarian food after you've grown to 50 pounds," Lili said as she picked up a few pieces of lettuce and tomatoes with her fork and put them into her mouth.
Zhang Lisheng yawned after filling his stomach with the tasteless vegetable leaves and tomatoes. "Mom, I didn't sleep well on the bed last night …"
"Go to sleep if you're tired baby. You need more rest now but don't forget to take your medicine before you sleep."
"Alright." Zhang Lisheng nodded and pretended to run to the living room to take the medicine from Lili's bag. He then walked to the second floor.
He got Mountoad to jump out of his backpack when he got back to his room. He opened the bottle and tossed two pills to it while he was at it. He then looked at the two color-changing beetles that were jumping and flapping their wings in the feeder and turned on his computer.
The screen flashed for a while and program icons appeared one after another. Zhang Lisheng tapped on the internet and entered the keywords' New York Harbor, Elizabeth Holiday, shipwreck 'to search. At that moment, countless information entered his eyes in rows.
"New York Harbor's birthday party's mysterious disappearance offshore. It turns out that it collided with the navy's medical rescue ship …"
"Several dozens of high school students from a famous New York school were killed and hundreds of people suffered serious brain damage from X gas. However, the US Maritime Administration official said that the reason why the shipwreck could have such an ending was because of the 'lucky egg' …"
"The Coast Guard's St. Mary rescued the shipwrecked Elizabeth Holiday. The sea area where the accident happened has been sealed off by the navy due to the leakage of the mysterious X gas …"
After skimming through the information, Zhang Lisheng clicked on what should be the most authoritative Associated Press news. "Associated Press New York, June 3rd, the missing cruise ship of the Ocean Shipping Company, Elizabeth Holiday, has been rescued by the towing ship of the Coast Guard, St. Mary …
According to the navy's related personnel, the reason why the cruise disappeared was due to the collision with the navy's ship transporting the highly volatile anesthetic gas X …
The Coast Guard's spokesperson has confirmed that the shipwreck caused a total of 189 deaths and 35 serious injuries. Among them …
New York District Attorney Opsey said that there is evidence that the Elizabeth Holiday's captain, Anita Fjodna, is the main cause of the shipwreck and bears a 'major responsibility' for the accident … "
In the news about the shipwreck of the Elizabeth Holiday on the Internet, the horrifying encounter of the cruise on the foreign world's island was not mentioned at all. Even though some news websites, which were accustomed to speaking freely, believed that the government must have concealed a lot of the truth in this incident, the bizarre story that they had fabricated still made Zhang Lisheng feel that it was nonsense.
"The memory of everyone on the ship in the foreign world has been erased. I must be fine because I can't delete my consciousness after becoming a wizard. However, is there such a technology in the world now? Could it be group hypnosis …?
No matter what method was used to erase the memory of the people on the ship, only the US government would be able to do it to such an extent. All of this must be to cover up the existence of the foreign world … "The young man muttered to himself and turned off the computer." In this case, there might still be intelligence personnel who will continue to monitor us, the shipwreck survivors, for a period of time to see what the effect of memory deletion is.
Looks like I'll have to be more obedient in the next two weeks … "
Thanks to some sci-fi movies with similar plots, Zhang Lisheng pieced the last piece of the puzzle together with the information he collected on the Internet. Without much effort, he could see the truth of the incident.
In the next few days, he really did what he said and stayed at home to sleep all day. He did not go to the Mutteslow construction site nor did he take the initiative to contact any of his friends. It was as though his memory was failing and he was drowsy.
It was only until the tenth day that the project manager of the expansion of the slaughterhouse took the initiative to contact Zhang Lisheng and told him that the first phase of the slaughterhouse project had been completed and that the slaughtering machinery that had been pre-ordered had already been transported into the factory by the dealer, that the young man had no choice but to call Tina.
The two of them greeted each other in a seemingly unfamiliar manner. Zhang Lisheng was surprised to find out that the girl had actually gone to Hawaii for a vacation.
"I'm sorry, Lisheng, I can't go back to New York at all. Besides, even if I go back, I don't know what I should do for you. I can't remember many things at all. The doctor said that the most important thing for me to do in these few months before I go to university is to breathe more fresh air and maintain a happy mood … Hahaha … Alice, I've already said that my doctor doesn't allow me to drink.
Hahaha … Alice, I said my doctor doesn't allow me to drink. Is it my turn again? Wait, let me finish my call … "
"Have a good vacation, Tina! Bye!" Zhang Lisheng faintly heard the laughter of young men and women on the other side of the phone. He was stunned for a moment before hanging up the phone.
